THRIVE

THRIVE is a Chamber initiative aimed at empowering women in business on the North Shore to succeed both professionally and personally.

THRIVE creates meaningful and inclusive opportunities through mentorship, networking, programming, education, inspiration and support.

The vision differs from that of a typical women’s business group and is not designed to gain leads or market one’s business. Rather, THRIVE is built around the spirit of both professional and personal development and accomplishment.

Membership in THRIVE is free. Both women and men interested in supporting the growth and success of women in business are welcome to join. Membership in the North Shore Chamber is not required to join THRIVE.
